FAN EXPO Chicago was this week (August 16-18) at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center. They had a top-notch celebrity guest list and a ton of animation guests. The first part of our FAN EXPO CHICAGO 2024 Sunday Cosplay photos are here in this article.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We plan to keep a rating system set up for many of the conventions.
[ays_poll id=153]
[ays_poll id=154]
[ays_poll id=155]
We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
The third and final day of the convention and, in my opinion, it was the best day of the weekend, The AC seemed to be working and it was wasn’t nearly as crowded. The crowd on Sunday was actually more what I had expected to see on Friday. Thanks to the lower temperatures, it seemed that everyone was in a much better mood.

With the thinner crowds, I was able to get over to one of my favorite vendors, Apothecary Teas. They have a variety of loose teas that I love. Two of my favorites are Autumn Spice and Lavender Chai. You can check out their online store or find them at a lot of events in the Chicago area (not sure where else they might be).
COSPLAY PHOTOS
Unfortunately, yesterday’s heat drove a lot of the cosplayers into their mundane clothing, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t lots of cosplay to be found and we’ve got it here for your perusal. There was a lot of it; here is part one (1) of my FAN EXPO Chicago Sunday Cosplay photo coverage. As always, make a comment and we will tag the photo for you.
